Seth Rogen has tantrums when he can’t eat.The ‘Knocked Up’ star has shed 30lbs for his role in new comic book adaptation ‘The Green Hornet’ – in which he plays the crime-fighting vigilante of the same name – but doesn’t think he will be able to maintain his new slimline figure when filming ends because dieting has made him so emotional.I lost the weight for a role, but I don’t know if I’ll keep it off. He said: “I lost the weight for a role, but I don’t know if I’ll keep it off. That’s the big question. I have a lot of tantrums. I want my food. I cry for no reason.” The actor is adamant he wouldn’t have lost the weight if the role didn’t require it and admits he feels like a “sell-out” for trying to alter his body shape.He recently said: “I’m selling out guys. It’s the lamest thing ever. It’s for ‘The Green Hornet’ – the only reason. There’s no other reason. I think it serves the movie.”Despite winning praise for his new figure, Seth has previously insisted his long-term girlfriend Lauren Miller is indifferent about his new look. He said: “She’s stuck by me through thick and thin – literally! She claims she doesn’t like me any more now than when I was heavier, but I think that’s completely not true.” |

Seth Rogen’s dear friend, Judd Apatow will not be making the Ghostbusters film. Some rumors just won’t die.Internet rumors notwithstanding, geek comedy genius Judd Apatow will not be producing a Ghostbusters sequel.”We have some great new writers working on a new [Ghostbusters] script, but Judd isn’t involved,” said Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures, to Los Angeles Times blog The Big Picture. “Judging from the frenzy on the internet, there still seems to be plenty of interest in the idea of doing another film, so we’re certainly taking that as a good sign.”Apatow, whose short-lived Freaks and Geeks television series earned a cult following for its hilarious depiction of ’80s teenage life, has gone on to write and/or produce a string of successful comedies, including Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Pineapple Express. |

Funnymen Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill flaunt their impeccable bods on the cover of April’s Vanity Fair! The photo, featuring director Judd Apatow’s darlings, is a direct spoof of the 2006 Annie Leibovitz VF cover featuring designer Tom Ford preying on actresses Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson in the buff. “People have always said I’m the Scarlett Johansson of comedy. Always,” Superbad star Jonah Hill joked. Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor Jason Segel was a little more uneasy over the revealing shoot. “What an honor it was being on the Vanity Fair cover. I was a little uncomfortable doing the Tom Ford spoof. The only person more uncomfortable was my personal trainer.”» Images are in the Gallery |

What a difference a year makes. This time 12 months ago Seth Rogen was being talked up as something of a comedy messiah following excellent turns in Knocked Up and Superbad. Since then the cuddly Canadian has suffered from the law of diminishing returns: Pineapple Express had its moments, with Rogen on safe, stoner-geek territory, while Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno was a passable sex comedy. Yet there was always the feeling that the actor was taking on too many projects, and was likely to come a cropper sooner rather than later.Observe and Report looks like just that. It features Rogen as a shopping mall security guard charged with tracking down a flasher who has been upsetting gorgeous co-worker Brandi (Anna Faris). Written and directed by The Foot Fist Way’s Jody Hill, it also stars Ray Liotta as a police detective investigating the same crime.It’s always hard to gauge a movie by the trailer alone, but one has to assume that a three-minute long promo is going to include many of the final flick’s funniest moments, and there isn’t a lot to laugh at here. Rogen looks bored, and the storyline appears basic and ill-considered, although the wonderful Faris manages her usual trick of transforming dull, leaden lines into comedy gold.Superbad, which Rogen penned himself with childhood pal Evan Goldberg, was apparently more than a decade in the writing – the pair began working on it when they were in their teens – so its perhaps unsurprising that subsequent outings have dipped in quality. Even so it’s a pity to see an actor who so recently could apparently do no wrong slip so quickly into the Hollywood mire.Source: guardian.co.uk |
